BFix,

Sorry it took me so long to get you the pics, pretty busy around here! Anyway heres 4 pics of the tube and original NEC shipping box. Tube has some wear and a bit of burn on the wear (can see what looks like an image on the tube face). I remember when I used it that the burn was a bit noticeable, but I was just happy to have my XG up and running again.

Other than that she is in great shape, good emission, comes with the HV lead cable.

So like I said for $50 + actual shipping to you if you want it. Pics below! Smile

Thats a shame about that static burn in eh? Thats not a bad tube apart from that!!

Yeah the burn in sucks, but like you said it was still a usable tube. That's why I kept it for a spare. Right now im getting ready to store my XG for a while until the new garage is built, then it goes out there. Hopefully rather soon too Wink

Its very usable for sure, depending on the person and the application

So, I got a few spare tubes today (2 reds and 2 blues). Is there anything that I need to do other than bleeding and reversing the removal steps? The new tubes have all the hardware attached around the tube, but not the circuit board that they plug into.

The neck card stays with the set. Just pull the other tubes out and bleed them, or youll be looking for more tubes.

If I plug the new tube into the neck card, should it work?

Dont just do that, hook everythink up and get it secured first. Then it will work provided nothing else is wrong.

I've hooked everything up and double-checked that all the wires go where they should. All tubes have been bled. I'm using a new used tube with my old neck card. The other two tubes turn on, but nothing comes out of the blue. What would the next step be in diagnosing this? I also have another used blue that I could try as well, but would this risk damaging it?

Is the HV lead pushed all the way into the splitter? Is the neck of the tube glowing orange? If not, either the tube or neck board have had the dick.

You can move the neck board between blue and green and see if that is working, if you put the green neck board on the blue and still no go itll probably be the tube.
